Arts and Culture

Influenced enormously by European immigrants throughout the ages, Norfolk has a wide range of arts and cultural activity to suit all ages and interests. At its heart, Norwich is a city bursting with museums, galleries, exhibitions and music venues and every May hosts the Norfolk & Norwich Festival, the oldest arts festival in the UK. The coastal resorts have shows, carnivals and entertainment – Cromer is home to the last end-of-pier theatre in the country – and there are countless countryside events throughout the year, including the Royal Norfolk Show and the Norfolk Food & Drink Festival, the largest of its kind in the country.
